Use YSQL `yb_local_tablets` view to fetch the metadata for [YSQL](../../../api/ysql/), [YCQL](../../../api/ycql/), and system [tablets](../../../architecture/key-concepts/#tablet) of a node. This view returns the same information that is available on `:9000/tablets`. While debugging a system with [Active Session History](../active-session-history/), the `tablet_id` column of this view can be joined with the `wait_event_aux` column of the [yb_active_session_history](../../../launch-and-manage/monitor-and-alert/active-session-history-monitor/#yb-active-session-history) view. For example, see [Detect a hot shard](../active-session-history/#detect-a-hot-shard). The following table describes the columns of the `yb_local_tablets` view. | Column | Type | Description | | :----- | :--- | :---------- | | tablet_id | text | 16 byte UUID of the tablet. | | table_id | text | 16 byte UUID of the table which the tablet is part of. | | table_type | text | Type of the table. Can be YSQL, YCQL, System, or Unknown. | | namespace_name | text | Name of the database or the keyspace. | | ysql_schema_name | text | YSQL schema name. Empty for YCQL, System, and Unknown table types. | | table_name | text | Name of the table which the tablet is part of. | | partition_key_start| bytea | Start key of the partition (inclusive). | | partition_key_end | bytea | End key of the partition (exclusive).| | state | text | State of the tablet. Check the next section for possible values. | ### Possible tablet states The `state` column can have the following values: | State | Description | | :---- | :---------- | | TABLET_DATA_COPYING | The tablet is doing remote bootstrap. | | TABLET_DATA_READY | Fresh empty tablets or successfully remote bootstrapped tablets. | | TABLET_DATA_DELETED | The tablet replica has been deleted from this particular node because the tablet has been deleted from the table. | | TABLET_DATA_TOMBSTONED | The tablet replica has been deleted from this particular node but the tablet itself is still part of the table and might have data on other nodes. | | TABLET_DATA_SPLIT_COMPLETED | The tablet split has been completed. | | TABLET_DATA_INIT_STARTED | The tablet has been initialized as a subtablet of another tablet undergoing a split. | ## Examples {{% explore-setup-single-new %}} Note that as this view is accessible via YSQL, run your examples using [ysqlsh](../../../api/ysqlsh/#starting-ysqlsh). ### Describe the columns in the view ```sql yugabyte=# \d yb_local_tablets ``` ```output View "pg_catalog.yb_local_tablets" Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default ---------------------+-------+-----------+----------+--------- tablet_id | text | | | table_id | text | | | table_type | text | | | namespace_name | text | | | ysql_schema_name | text | | | table_name | text | | | partition_key_start | bytea | | | partition_key_end | bytea | | | state | text | | | ``` ### Get basic information This example includes a YCQL table, a [hash-partitioned](../../../architecture/docdb-sharding/sharding/#hash-sharding) YSQL table, and a [range-partitioned](../../../architecture/docdb-sharding/sharding/#range-sharding) YSQL table. ```sql yugabyte=# SELECT * FROM yb_local_tablets ORDER BY table_name, partition_key_start ASC NULLS FIRST; ``` ```output tablet_id | table_id | table_type | namespace_name | ysql_schema_name | table_name | partition_key_start | partition_key_end | state ----------------------------------+----------------------------------+------------+-----------------+------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+------------------------+------------------- 230de13ea3f045c2bc817046c96bfb9e | db82083fb39e47b0976b99f3612fa144 | YCQL | ybdemo_keyspace | | cassandrakeyvalue | | \x8000 | TABLET_DATA_READY cb8ef7044b094709870d421fccd568a4 | db82083fb39e47b0976b99f3612fa144 | YCQL | ybdemo_keyspace | | cassandrakeyvalue | \x8000 | | TABLET_DATA_READY 76010b63fc714389ab97b432d9db78ac | 000033c1000030008000000000004000 | YSQL | postgres | public | postgresqlkeyvalue | | \x8000 | TABLET_DATA_READY a5913f11706c4d8a80d74b7001dfe157 | 000033c1000030008000000000004000 | YSQL | postgres | public | postgresqlkeyvalue | \x8000 | | TABLET_DATA_READY 110ae7c832e7418bbfb56222a3e6a7ca | 000033c3000030008000000000004006 | YSQL | yugabyte | public | range_partitioned_table | | \x48800000015361000021 | TABLET_DATA_READY 746f84ac4a894b9c914fd4a89d5f89fc | 000033c3000030008000000000004006 | YSQL | yugabyte | public | range_partitioned_table | \x48800000015361000021 | \x48800000025362000021 | TABLET_DATA_READY f584ca3aa57e43278fd4b5042ab116be | 000033c3000030008000000000004006 | YSQL | yugabyte | public | range_partitioned_table | \x48800000025362000021 | \x48800000035363000021 | TABLET_DATA_READY 6d566b767f0347879934338e1642f58e | 000033c3000030008000000000004006 | YSQL | yugabyte | public | range_partitioned_table | \x48800000035363000021 | | TABLET_DATA_READY bc90fa993cc340458d7d4500213e5aed | 4c9c54fb3fcc47dcb29e58899afc5e21 | System | system | | transactions | | \x2000 | TABLET_DATA_READY d106f1c5039a4127bf1bee83c5c3fec8 | 4c9c54fb3fcc47dcb29e58899afc5e21 | System | system | | transactions | \x2000 | \x4000 | TABLET_DATA_READY 045af4a5aa744e1fb06e41f4af134ee0 | 4c9c54fb3fcc47dcb29e58899afc5e21 | System | system | | transactions | \x4000 | \x6000 | TABLET_DATA_READY 0f63fe4806824a4ab17b0fd9cf144b8a | 4c9c54fb3fcc47dcb29e58899afc5e21 | System | system | | transactions | \x6000 | \x8000 | TABLET_DATA_READY a7251899b197456fbec72f7cc64cc7ad | 4c9c54fb3fcc47dcb29e58899afc5e21 | System | system | | transactions | \x8000 | \xa000 | TABLET_DATA_READY 46035a0bc4144f8ea372c93dc5d3a8b6 | 4c9c54fb3fcc47dcb29e58899afc5e21 | System | system | | transactions | \xa000 | \xc000 | TABLET_DATA_READY 1a13e5b16aa841608390c56e63deab20 | 4c9c54fb3fcc47dcb29e58899afc5e21 | System | system | | transactions | \xc000 | \xe000 | TABLET_DATA_READY 5b452227726444a78d1c84aaaf44f5c0 | 4c9c54fb3fcc47dcb29e58899afc5e21 | System | system | | transactions | \xe000 | | TABLET_DATA_READY ```
